1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The concept of immunomodulation was proposed by Edward Jenner, while working on polio vaccine in 1796. Many of the autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, psoriatic arthritis and system lupus erythematosus, viral diseases and, some cancers are characterized with elevated levels of "immunocytokine" gene expression, including, tumor necrosis factor-α, various interleukins, cytotoxic T-cell antigen-4, B-cell activating factor. For the treatment of these diseases, the immunologically-based therapies play the major role. In these lines, the usage of phytomedicines as immunostimulants/ immunosuppressants have been enhanced considerably in last few decades and also used as a prophylactic treatment for various ailments. Phytochemicals such as flavonoids, terpenoids, polysaccharides, lactones, alkaloids, glycosides and saponins present in several plants, have been confirmed to exhibit immunomodulating properties. This review focuses on the traditional plants and their constituents which have been extensively used as immunomodulators. We have also highlighted the mechanism of action of these plant constituents related to autophagy and adjuvanticity of drugs.
